I prefer not to judge a book by it's cover.

You apparently prefer to judge according to what Faux Noise tells you to think. EVERY one of the people testifying so far are career professionals with impeccable reputations, Vindman was a decorated war hero - you can't say that about the subject of the impeachment. He is a liar, an adulterer, a draft dodger, etc. Try something other than Faux, you may be surprised what's actually happening out there.

Geezus, I ain't an American but I always thought Americans had this thing about "guilty until proven innocent."  I assume you're an American, Skallywag, and correct me if I'm wrong, but what the h_e_l_l has happened over there?  This seems to me to be no different than mob action.

And how many wonderful, honorable, decorated career civil servants has trump discredited because they put him in a sour mood by not kissing his a$$?  He is asking for everything he's going to get.

I've worked with Iranians. They were decent people and were like everyone else. They wanted family, security, you know - human stuff. It's government fronts representing military arms sales that stoke these fires. Until we all see this for what it is and collectively demand it to stop, this planet will never be safe.

Are ANY other countries doing this or are they trying to become the Hub of Surveillance?

Labor automation is a YUGE looming problem. I prefer self-checkout at stores, and soon RFID chips will eliminate the checkout process altogether. Mickie D's automated order kiosks is another example. These displaced employees (and millions of others in all labor sectors in all countries) have to feed themselves somehow. This needs to be addressed or they will turn to desperate measures.

Anyone else click on articles like this out of sheer boredom, knowing full well it's total bologna?

Even Faux Noise said you could not have a more clear example of disobeying The Title of Nobility (emoluments) Clause. This unhinged 45 IS self-impeaching!

This keeps me pretty much a homebody. I just don't want to muck around with this horse dookie.

At least it's not American blood where America has no vital interest. Good move Donald.

Is that a joke? With no U.S. presence in Syria, Turkey now has a direct path, with the help of Iran and Russia, to get serious weaponry to put Israel down. Oh, and Turkey has 50 nuclear missiles on its property, courtesy of the U.S.  This was a horrible decision, probably the worst so far, but unless Trump gets impeached and removed, he still has time to make even WORSE decisions. Yay Team America!

"President Donald Trump invited Democratic Party leaders to the White House on Wednesday and proceeded to have what those leaders described as a 'meltdown' in front of them."

Actually, the meeting was supposed to be between Congressional and military leaders to figure out just what the hell happened with the Syria policy change. Trump invited himself, and when he discovered WHAT the meeting was supposed to be about, he tried to call it off. Say what you will about Pelosi, she is a master politician with more balls than just about every Republican Senator, so she started asking Trump what the hell happened. That now historic and iconic photo of her standing up to Trump was tweeted by Trump himself. He subsequently ALSO tweeted "Impeach the Pres." He doesn't need Rudy to make horrible things happen any more - he's the chief engineer on the impeachment train!

It's not just Dems. Republicans just publicly chastised Trump for this decision, and the resulting meltdown has been astounding. As well, Trump himself just tweeted "Impeach the Pres." Freudian slip or a moment of honesty/clarity?

How much more will it take to make everyone understand this guy is over the edge and invoke Article 25? When will enough be enough?
